Hardware Requirements
Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 has the following are hardware requirements:
• HP 9000 (PA2.0) or HP Integrity system
• At least 256 MB of memory. HP recommends that you have 512 MB to 4 GB of memory for
best performance on large production systems.
The physical memory requirements for each Directory Server process depend on your
particular configuration and database. Each server process requires at least 15 MB of memory.
However, the server caches recently used entries. Depending on the size of the database
served and the size of the entries cached, the memory requirements for a typical Directory
Server process can exceed 2 GB.
For more information, see “Tuning Database Performance ” (page 29).
• CD-ROM drive to load the software or an Internet connection to Software Depot to download
the software.
